Although there are a few about VS .NET, you'll want to pick what language you'd like to learn, whether it be Visual Basic, C# or C++.

If you have no experience with VB then you'll probably have no problem with .NET's design, and as such should little trouble moving to VB.NET. Alternatively, you may choose to take a look at the C-style C# since this is being pushed quite heavily. It benefits from (in my opinion) a very clean syntax compare to either VB or C++.

C++ on the other hand provides the greatest flexibility, it is the only language that allows you to produce native code (i.e. non .NET), but also allows you to produce managed and unmanaged code in the same application. Managed refers to whether instances of objects on the managed heap are monitored by the Garbage Collector, unmanaged refers to those outside of the GC's control (and so you have to manually delete them as with traditional C++).

I started to use .NET with C# (primarily for ASP.NET web applications), and the odd Windows app, however, I've recently been using C++ and its actually been pretty good (if a little frustrating at times), take a look at my Email Validator Control for an example of C++.NET solution involving Win32 API calls, and also the Credit Card Validator control for an example of C# code.

Once you've chosen a language you'll be able to get a book that covers it. For C++ I'd recommend Developing Applications with Visual Studio .NET by Richard Grimes (of many ATL books fame Smile | :) ). I'm not aware of many other books, but if you want to get into C# development (specifically windows rich clients) then Charles Petzold's weight tome is also pretty good.
